As it was said by the president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Thomas Bach at the press conference, the Executive Committee of the IOC suspended the Russian national team from participating in the 2018 Winter Olympics.

The International Olympic Committee disqualified Russian bobsledder Alexander Zubkov. Thus, Russia loses both gold medals of the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi in the bobsleigh: in men’s twos and fours.

12 anti-doping agencies supported the initiative of members of the Institute of National Anti-Doping Organizations (iNADO) to suspend the Russian national team from participating in the 2018 Olympic Games.

According to New York Times, the President of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) Sebastian Coe continues to receive threats in Russian because of banning Russian athletes from the Olympic Games-2016.
